Chapter 32


    “I want to confirm if someone’s deliberately framing my mom and make things just for her.” Skr’s


    deep, smoldering gaze bore into Sadie’s and Maisy’s, who stood before her.


    She’d summoned a great deal of willpower to control her emotions, she’d nearly killed Maisy when


    she’d pinned down thetter earlier.


    However, Skr felt like her second chance at life would be meaningless if Sadie and Maisy


    caused


    Vi, Gloria, and her family to go to jail.


    “How dare you?” Sadie was in total shock upon realizing Skr was no longer the same person


    who’d


    done everything to please her.

    Maisy felt nothing but utter loathing toward Skr. She refused to get the police involved.


    That was when a light bulb went off in her head, and she looked at Janine with a teary expression.


    “We’ve


    already admitted that we were mistaken. Please, can’t we end this matter here, Ms. Yancey?


    wany


    “It would do nobody any good to make this a big deal, right? Please convince my sister not to


    escte


    things”


    Janine’s heart withered when Maisey addressed her as though she were a stranger. Even so, she


    knew it


    would do no good to Skr if they made a big deal out of things.


    Skr’s rtionship with the Williams family would only be strained since she had challenged


    Sadie.


    Janine knew that, so she tried to convince Skr with a gentle voice. “Skye, how about we drop this


    matter? I ept their apology and believe they won’t do this again.”


    Paul looked down at his phone; he’d just received the elevator surveince footage.


    From the footage, it was clear that Sadie had instigated the physical violence. s, she’d happened


    to be


    in a blind spot, so it was unclear whether Sadie had taken off her ring to frame Janine


    Paul forwarded the video to Skr, who checked it.


    “Since Janine has already epted our apology, let’s end this matter here. Skye, I know you’re still


    upset


    that we didn’t buy you a car and even terminated your card.


    “But know that we’re only doing it for your good. Come home tonight. I won’t take what happened


    today


    to heart,” said Sadie.


    Sadie felt oddly ufortable when she saw Skr treating her coldly while defending Janine this


    entire


    time.


    She was Skr’s biological mother, but why did Skr only care about Janine? How could a


    woman who worked as a housekeeper mean more to Skr than her?


    Skr had never heard Sadie utter such soft, friendly words to her before. Now that she’d heard


    them, she only found them words ridiculous and ironic.


    2/2


    “I won’t spare you guys if you dare pick on my mom again. I don’t care if it means risking my life.”


    Skr hugged Janine’s arm while snarling at them. Then, she left the office with Janine.


    Those words rattled Sadie to her core. From the way Skr had treated Sadie, she seemed like an


    entirely different person.


    Maisy thought Skr had gone bonkers to threaten Sadie over a mere housekeeper. The ache on


    her face caused her to inhale sharply before she took out her phone.


    She texted Christopher, saying, “I bumped into Skr at Jubnce Hotel. She hit me and even


    offended my mom.”


    A minuteter, Christopher replied, “I’m nearby. I’ll head over now.”


    Christopher was determined to see Skr. He hadn’t been in contact with her in so many days,


    which had made him realize she was serious about breaking up with him this time.


    It was Janine’s lunch break, so she and Skr went to the staff’s break room.


    They enjoyed their takeaway pizza, and Janine also took the provided staff meal. After all, Jubnce


    Hotel’s staff meals werevish and nutritious, with a good bnce of protein and vegetables.


    “Skye, you and your mom-” Janine couldn’t help feeling uneasy as she recalled the tense


    atmosphere from earlier.


    “I’ll only acknowledge you as my mom. The Williams family has nothing to do with me from now on,”


    Skr said in a low, grunting tone.


    “Skye, tell me the truth. Did something happen to you while you were with the Williams family? Did


    they mistreat you?”


    It pained Janine to think about that. She had a gut feeling that Skr had been picked on by the


    Williams family.


    After all, Skr was affable. She had always been well–behaved and considerate toward others.


    She wouldn’t have been this determined to cut ties if the Williams family hadn’t done something to


    her.
